Visit the quiet Gloucestershire Cotswolds market town of Northleach today and there are relatively few clues to its former importance, but a tour of the Church of St Peter and St Paul, hidden just off the market square, will uncover more of the town's former glories.

Northleach is situated at an important crossroads, just off the old Roman road the Fosse Way (now the A429), and in the centre of a large sheep-rearing region. A market charter was granted to it in 1220 by Gloucester Abbey, which had owned Northleach and the surrounding lands since AD 800. From then on the town flourished, and during the Middle Ages it was the centre of the prosperous Cotswolds wool trade. Northleach wool was recognised throughout Europe as the finest quality, commanding the highest prices at the market in Calais.

The town's wool merchants celebrated their wealth by rebuilding and embellishing the simple twelfth-century church, turning it into the 'Cathedral of the Cotswolds'. A chancel was added in the fourteenth century, a nave, aisles and sacristy in the following century, and a tower circa 1380-1400. The magnificent two-storey porch, complete with intricate buttresses and pinnacles, and decorated with carvings of a cat playing a fiddle for dancing rats, dates from circa 1480 and is a "perfect late-Gothic composition" according to Simon Jenkins.

Inside, the thirteenth-century font has carvings of angels playing musical instruments including a flute, taber, viol and naker (an early kettledrum).

But the chief attraction inside the church is the best collection of medieval memorial brasses in the country, commemorating the local wool merchants turned church benefactors. These brasses are not of knights and lords but businessmen and merchants, each made to reflect the individual characters of their patrons: some have hair and some are bald, some are clean-shaven while others are hirsute, several are of different ages, and many stand on the sheep and woolsacks that provided their wealth. John Fortey, who paid for the building of the clerestory, is bare-headed in a sumptuous fur-lined gown surrounded by his woolmark insignia with sheep round his feet; while John Taylour and his wife lie facing each other, with their fifteen children lined up in two orderly rows below them, and the customary sheep and woolsack at the bottom. To wander amongst these idiosyncratically lifelike individuals and families reminds us of the former glories of this now-peaceful Cotswolds town.
